In asking questions, I almost become obsessed with finding answers, (just ask my husband, he uses the word crazy). But at the time of needing answers, all that came to my head was “serve others”. Now I know this is in the GREAT book, The Bible, but what does serving others have to do with making money? Getting out of debt? And reaching my goal. (yes it’s my husband’s too but I am the one obsessing over it). But as we all know, God may have some different plans for us. I believe he was leading me to serve others for a few reasons.
- To stop looking inward, appreciate what I have, to care about and help others, and become less selfish.
- In doing number one, the Lord would give me ways to take care of my goal, because ultimately, as a Christian, I am called to do everything for His Glory and His Kingdom, including get out of debt, it’s not about me.
- To love and serve others (outside of our family), is fulfilling in itself. Especially those who are hard to love. The Lord blesses us when we do what He call us to.
- To expand my capacity in order to have an open mind and heart when He would show me the opportunities to accomplish My/His goals.
- To keep me in His Word, (I facilitate a bible study and go to one also), it’s amazing the answers the Holy Spirit shows you from the Bible.
In serving others, even with kids, no time, and unschooling, I found more answers to my questions than I could have ever thought up on my own…
